Nurseries have the resources and personnel to handle a wide variety of plant life, which creates a more diverse selection for the consumer, and can help guide you in growing your own green thumb.

How are indoor and outdoor plants different?

Some require cooler temperatures and shade; others need more direct sunlight and warmth; some are flexible and able to thrive in either environment, provided the temperature differences are not extreme.

How often should fruit trees be watered?

The two main causes of fruit tree failure are over-watering and under-watering. As a rule of thumb, fruit trees should only be watered when the soil is on the verge of becoming dry. For young trees that are still growing it’s important to pay close attention as rapid growth uses more water. Be aware of soil condition and of course, local temperatures and precipitation.

What is a Plant Hardiness Zone?

Many gardeners and farmers use Plant Hardiness Zone maps to determine which plants thrive best in specific locations. They are based on average minimum winter temperature and divided into 10-degree geographic Fahrenheit zones.

How often should fruit trees be pruned?

Pruning frequency depends on the type of fruit-bearing tree. Different kinds require different maintenance. For many mature fruit-bearing trees, annual pruning is recommended, preferably in winter when the tree is dormant. Pruning the tree is an essential step in increasing the fruit-bearing capability of some trees, while it has no bearing on others. Consult a nursery or research the types of trees you have for specific pruning needs and techniques.

When is the best time of year to plant fruit trees?

In warmer climates, it’s perfectly acceptable to plant trees into late fall. In some cases, planting season can be nearly year-round. For more moderate climates, most recommend planting in the spring when the environment and temperatures are most amenable for plant growth.
